Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss Monikers

Where do they come from and why? A special meaning?

What is a Catmandoo, an Esshup, a Fireishot, a cjsb2003 and the list goes on and on and.....

I'm getting ready for my fire is hot 24 hour shift in the morning. I'm a 31 year Dallas Firefighter, and happily worked in the hood for 30 1/2 of those years.

FireIsHot is so stupid it works.

Oh, real name is Allen Hall

Sheesh!

How is a DD different than a DD1?

ESS = English Springer Spaniel

Hup = Sit your azz down right now!

I had a Field Trial ESS that was smart enough to learn that she could get away with anything in a trial, but not in training. She wouldn't sit when the bird flushed, or her bracemate flushed a bird in a trial. From the line judge. "Thank you very much, next dog please."

She finally learned to sit in training, and even if we simulated a trial in training down to the nth degree. But, I had to quit running her in trials because she knew the difference and the drive to retrieve was VERY strong. I'd just be throwing away my entry fee and travel expenses on the first series that she ran.

She'd even fall asleep holding something in her mouth:


Her nose looks funny because that's a tumor that eventually got to the point where I had to put her down.

As a hunting dog? She knew she had to sit and I can honestly say that if the bird went down, she brought it back, no mater where the bird went down, near or far. I even had to put her on a leash when dove hunting in Ca. We'd get our limit and she'd keep bringing me birds that other hunters didn't find on our walk back to the truck, which put me over the limit.

Fur or feathers, if you shot it she'd bring it back. She even squeezed her way out of the truck thru the side window and tried retrieving clay birds on the trap range.

It's E-S-S-"Hup".

Well, I know that 'Bruce Condello' is a moniker. His real name is Morton Cosgrove.

Hey, my real name is Morton Cosgrove, what is funny about that SUNIL??? Is Linus spelled backwards a moniker?

Hahahaha! Now that is doggone funny! Linus! I love it!

Todd3138, while not as interesting as Esshup's explanation, is a combination of my name (seriously, that's really my name -It's not Morton or Linus ) and a number that was automatically assigned once when Todd was already used as a screen name on another forum. It's easy to remember and I've stuck with it.

Or it could be my actual net worth now that I'm investing everything into a tractor and building a pavilion at my farm - you decide where the decimal goes!

I think Ken is just a huge Bob Seger fan, thus Catmandoo!

It all started when I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.

It was the second year we owned the present pond.
I found it was completely out of control.
Monster catfish had dug deep dark holes.
I put out jug lines.
All I got was big mean turtles.

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawling out now, as I came crawling in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much, I broke my mind

I was so uptight, and just I couldn't unwind.

Then I found Pond Boss.
I needed a name.

I got no quarrel with the catfish,
these fish were giving me their best.
They lived here most of all their life, I was now their guest,
I sure have loved it, too.

So, with the solitude and friends, I needed a Pond Boss name.
That's how I became Catmandoo,
up in the mountains is where I am.
I don't ever want to get out of here,
and that's all I'm gonna do.

Catmandoo

How about some more of you characters?

Three random letters, like a toss of the dice.

All my login's and passwords are randomly determined. (except my work email) I use to write them down on post it notes, but those things can get lost! Now I keep everything in a word document.

I haven't been able to make sense of this one except maybe, Just-Kinda-Boring

I tried that for awhile. Then I had a head crash. Nope, it wasn't backed up.

Simply Rob Ruttle

I know that CJ's starts with Criminal Justice, or something like that.

Bing is for Bingaman, my last name. Men in my family have been called Bing for generations. I had two older brothers and had to wait for years before I was the primary Bing. Now my sons are Bing as well. It is probably good that we don't all live in the same town.

Mine's real clever.

Fishing is a hobby

Chips is my occupation

I'm a professional woodsculptor. Real name is Jim Stadtlander

...nor own and operate a cherry orchard

Bing could incorporate a little Dr. Seuss in.....Bing One and Bing Two...

I am Bing
Bing I am

Do you like green fish and ham?

I do not like them,
Bing I am
I do not like green fish and ham.

Hang with me on this, because it gets a bit complicated:
I just picked random letters out of the air and came up with rmedgar.
My name is Randolph Munro Edgar.

At least I am Papa Bing, not like Papa Smurf.

You'll always be Papa Smurf to me! Or at least Papa Grey Goose Vodka....

Neat idea for a thread Dave!

You guys can see how creative I am.
MN- My location; Minnesota
FISH - What this forum is all about

MNFISH- Such a geek engineer with very little creativitey!

Offline Moniker - Jeff Welch

I've talked about the tattoo connection to my moniker here before............. At this point in time, I would be happy to just use my name...Tony Livingston...

Problem being, I don't want to lose my post count, nor do I want folks confused about who the new guy is........

Trust me, It is saved in quite a few places!
